Organizational Roster

After Doug’s post on Sunday and the feedback looking for spring training camp rosters, I went searching. I could not find anything and when the question was asked, the answer was there is no formal minor league camp roster for publication. I was directed to the media guide for a list of players in the system.

So I took the information in the guide and put together an organization roster. The roster below includes all levels within the organization from Foreign Rookie League through the Majors. The players listed below are current with the latest printing of the media guide.

I then put the players that are currently in Major League Camp in capital letters. These players were still in major league camp as of 3/5.

While it is not a true account that every one has reported and still with the organization, but it is the best account we have. Hopefully it will answer some of those questions about the free agents that re-signed with the organization.

I was told by two people at the omplex that a roster would not be available until everybody showed up yesterday, but on Rays' home game days there is no access to the back fields so I have not been able to find one. I was also told that there are 137 players in camp, so I guess that is a a start.
